ORUNE: Betting on War

In the hills of Westmoreland, Jamaica, a woman sees a massacre before it happens.They call her mad.Hours later, the hospital floors run red exactly as she described.Her son grows up in the shadow of that prophecy. From the streets of Grange Hill to the stadiums of America, Goorah Beckford rises from gang runner to global soccer phenomenon.But his real power lies elsewhere.Armed with an experimental intelligence known as ORUNE, Goorah begins predicting the probabilities of global conflict.
